While firmly tannic, this opulent and flavorful wine made from 93% Cabernet Sauvignon also has a well-rounded texture to let its potent black currant and blueberry flavors shine through. Notes of graphite, espresso and dark chocolate weave through the nose and palate. Best from 2026-2036.

The 2019 Red Blend Estate Proprietary Blend checks in as 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot that saw a slightly longer time in barrel, spending 24 months in 70% new French oak. Beautiful cassis and blackberry fruit as well as scorched earth, graphite, and chocolate notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, has good mid-palate depth, lots of tannins, and a good finish. It's another uber-ripe, textured wine in the lineup that has enough tannins to warrant 2-3 years of bottle age, and it should drink well over the following decade or so. 400 cases.

A solid, compact style, with graphite edges and ample singed tobacco and bittersweet chocolate notes coursing through, plus dense plum, cassis and blackberry reduction flavors. A warm earth note tumbles through on the grippy finish. This is a bit amped up, but will have fans for the sheer heft. Best from 2023 through 2035. 350 cases made.
